Speaking at an interactive session with tech journalists in Lagos, Lola Masha, country manager OLX Nigeria said OLX is a strong believer in the Nigerian market and determined to see that the online marketplace thrives.

We are very passionate about the value we provide in connecting buyers to sellers and in promoting trade. For us, trust and safety are key factors to the success of e-commerce, which is why we are intensifying efforts by improving measures that will demonstrate safety and help build trust among Nigerians,” she said.
